THEIR LAST HYMN.
Six Passengers Who Sang "Nearer,
My God, to Thee" ON the Chats
worth Train.

Six Passengers Who Sang "Nearer,
My God, to Thee" ON the Chats
worth Train.
Mrs. Merriam Grant, of Springfield,
ILL.,, one of the people wounded in the
ChatswOrth disaster, was in the rear car
with her husband. In this car was
party of six people. In order that they
might sit together, Mr.. and Mrs. Grant
changed seats with young man and his
bride. Their courtesy saved their lives,
for the yOyng couple were both killed.
Mrs. Grant thought this party were the
atrical people OF concert singers, they
were so jolly and sang SO well. They
could sing, and they laughed and told
stories and anticipated the pleasure of
the trip until late at night. Then Mrs.
Grant composed herself in her chair
and covered her face with her handker-
chief to go to sleep. Nearly everybody
in the car was quiet but the jolly party
of six. About this time the young bride
was requested to sing 'Sweet Hour of
Prayer" Something in the desire to
sleep and rest recalled the sweet old
song. The young woman sang and all
listened while the train sped on.
AS the little CLEAN of develiSh fire ap-
peared far down the track their voices
SWelled in:
'sYet in my dreams I'd be,
Nearer, my God, to Three"
The speed of the train increased down
the grade. Again the song swelled:
''There let the way appear, steps unto
heaven
The way was already in sight.
.sAll that Thou sendest me, in mercy given"
And then with but moment of life
left for each. Even when poor Ed Nc
Clintock's hand was giving its last des-
perate wrench to the throttle of his ELI
CINE the singers sang to their God, who
seemed not to be holding them in the
hollow of His hand:
''Angels to beckon me,
Nearer, my God, to Thee"
Enough. 1t was finished. The engines
struck the frail bridge and it sank. The
car containing the singers crashed like
bolt of Jove through the two cars in
front of it, killing and grinding as a foot
kills worm. In the same instant
another car crashed through it and the
singers were dead.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-The suspension
in the house of commons to-day of two
members, Mr.. Edward Harrington and
Mr.. Robert Graham. is fitting episode
with which to close the present session.
The uncOncerned manner which the
members exhibited i'll receiving their
suspension marks the contempt that is
generally felt by the opposition for the
leaders of the present house of COM
mons. The speaker, in both cases, fol-
lowed the suspension by little homily
setting forth his fixed resolution to
maintain the traditional dignity and
honor of the house and in no case to
overlook any breach of courtesy OF in
tended slight towards the venerable in
stitutiOn over which he had the honor to
preside. The traditional dignity is
about the only kind of dignity left to
fhf IS hHaS' as now We'll ana that psr soms
regard be paid to the memory
of the departed. In fact, what once
was known to the civilized world as the
most dignifiel body in existence has
ceased to exist, and in its place is
restless, wavering, eXcitable body of
men. There was time when SuSpen-
sion from the house of commons meant
political death, but now it has become
an honorable means by which to vindi-
cate the rights of ones constituents.
1t is well-knOwn practice on the part
of some of the Tories, especially the
younger members, to try to provoke to
anger the members of the opposition.
This is frequently done in the case of
the Nationalist, who are easily eXcita-
BILE and who, suffering under wrongs,
are naturally an easy prey to the de-
signs of their tormenters. Many of the
suspensions this session have resulted
from this cause.

Tennyson's Shrewdness.

LOnd on Letter.
l heard of gentleman the other day
who laid a wager that he would get an
autograph out Of Lord Tennyson, who
is remarkably close in the distribution
of his sign manual. The gentleman in
question sat down and wrote polite
note, asking the noble lord which. in
his opinion. was the best dictionary of
the English language Webster's or
Ogilvie's? That will fetch him, thought
the man who set the trap. Did it? By
the next post came a half sheet of note
paper, on which was carefully pasted
the word "Ogilvie," cut out of the cor
respondents own letter. You can
imagine his chagrin far better than
can describe it.

They Are Not Families.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-It seems that
theatrical companies are endeavoring
to travel at reduced rates on the plea,
more ingenious than ingenious, that
their members, when on the road, con-
stitute a family" d. P. Farmer, gem
eral manager of the Erie, does not
think so, and has ordered his conduc-
tors not to accept 1,0O0-mile family
mileage tickets from itinerant Thes-
plans.

A Cut in passeneer Rates.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Sept. 13-East-

sale round trip tickets to New York,
good until Sept. %, for $3.50. Other
lines using the Philadelphia excursion
tickets are able to fix passengers
for the round trip to New York for

A Much Needed Town Official.

LOUISVILLE Courler-J Ournai.
AS soon as this city shall be out of
debt, we must at once create new and
important office. We must have a
Watermelon Thumper. Under the
present loose system of buying and sell
ing melons, much i'll feeling is every
day generated between the honest
grocer and his incorruptible patrons,
neither being willing to lose the price
of a green melon, and both being deslr-
Gus of having only the most delicious
article. An expert Thumper, in the
employ of the city,, could tell at once
the condition of melon, and all parties
would be satisfied. A grocer may be
skillful as to oleomargarine, and yet
know nothing of watermelon humping.
Indeed, Thumper is born, not made.
We must eventually have one.

A Roads Predicament.

CHICAGO, Sept. ia special from
Louisville, Ky, says: A unique fight
is now going on between the Evansville
q indianapolis railroad and J. G. Pal
mer, a wealthy farmer near Washing
ton. Ind The road is built along the
line of the old Wabash q Erie canal,
which was abandoned by the trustees
twenty-five years ago. When the canal
was abandoned the land reverted to the
former owners. Notwithstanding this,
and the fact that twenty years. posses
sion gives valid title, the canal trus-
tees sold the property, rights and fran
chises to Mackey, of Evansville, and he
sold to the railroad company. When
the road came to be built, however. the
farmers refused to allow the line to
cross their farms, but the company used
force and completed the road In 1885
Palmer got a temporary injunction,
which was made perpetual in 1886, and

Sioux City & Pacific.

CHICAGO Sept. 13.-Hon. David T.
Littler, of the Pacific railway commits
sion this morning began an investiga-
ton into the affairs of the Sioux City 81
Pacific railway, which was subsidized
was absorbed by the Chicago d North
western railway some years ago. 1t is
desired to ascertain if this line is in
condition TO liduidate its Indebtedness
to the United States. 1t is shown that
the road has paid current expenses and
earned surplus of $4,000 overland
above the amount due the government
for interest, but no payment has been
made to the government. President
-Hughitt and Comptroller Kirkhamfs did
not make it clear to the commission just
what disposition had been made of the
money. Mr.. Hughitt said that the road
would probably not be able to pay the
debt, that it had been crippled by COM
petition, the alleged deficit was used
for necessary improvements and that it
was impossible for him to Satellite
probable action of the stockholders re-
garding future payments. The total
sum called into question is $3.50, 000.s /
Trying to Compromise. {
Vice President T.. j. Potter, of tile
Union Pacific, has just returned to Chi
cago from New York. where he has
been for several days. In speaking of
the negotiations on foot between the
opposing parties in the Northern Pa
cific, he said that Messrs. Smith, Adams,
Harris and Wright were in consultation
all of last week trying to arrange COM
promise that would avoid a fight for SUI
premacy at the coming election, but up
to Saturday evening no agreement had
been arrived at, although it was his i'm
preston that one could be reached.
The principal point was the question of
joint lease of Oregon Railway and
Navigation, the parties representing the
latter insisting that the Northern Pa
cific should equally guarantee the inter
est with the Union Pacific, or, in other
words, each should assume per cent.
This would leave the Oregon Naviga-
ton neutral as between the Union Pa
cific and Northern Pacific, and in CON
troll of its territory without fear of
threatened invasion by the Northern
Pacific. The Oregon road was earning
fully 6 per cent. this year, and there was
no danger that the guarantors would be
called upon to make good any part of
the interest money. Mr.. Potter's bust
ness at New York was to arrange for an
equitable division of territory between
the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific.
and he was of the belief that mutually
agreeable arrangement would be had. :
